Just use history or fc -l to display the line as is.

Bash doesn't "display" things. Your terminal

In a bash math context or in C, 08 is indeed a syntax error,

The problem is that bash isn't displaying a 'tab' character where

It's readline and redisplay. Readline expands tabs to spaces using an
internal tab stop of 8. This allows it to be sure of the physical cursor
location, especially when

FINAL THOUGHT — BASH FEATURE SUGGESTION:
At the moment, this external command line reveals the version of Readline
that Bash is using:
gdb bash -batch -ex 'printf "%04x\n", (int) rl_readline_version'
Given how utterly fundamental Readline is to the functioning of Bash,
perhaps it should become
